Turkey meatloaf sammy

I made turkey meatloaf last night and it was so good that we needed to eat the leftovers for dinner again. We never do that! Leftovers are strictly for lunches (or 1am snacks in Ryan's case) in this house. So I was thinkin and thinkin about what to do with this meatloaf besides a regular sub. And then BAM! Best idea ever...

- Leftover turkey meatloaf
- Rye bread
- Spicy mustard
- Swiss cheese (freshly sliced, not in a plastic package)
- Caramelized onion

We assembled this goodness and panini pressed it and O. M. G.

Ryan made an Asian cole slaw to go with it. But my sammy was the star of the show.

  2. The turkey meatloaf recipe is embarrassingly Roseanne but seriously it's the best.

    - 1 lb ground turkey meat
    - 1 egg
    - 10 RITZ crackers (crush 'em with your hands)
    - 1/4 C milk
    - 1 small can of tomato paste, halved
    - 1 packet McCormick meatloaf seasoning, halved

    Preheat to 375. Mix meat, egg, crackers, milk, 1/2 can of tomato paste, and 1/2 packet of seasoning in a bowl. Put into loaf shape (so attractive) on cookie sheet. Spread a thin layer of remaining tomato paste onto top. Cook for 30 mins or til done.
    IT'S SO GOOD. Sometimes i'll add diced green chilies to the mixture before baking. Also delish.

  4. i will eat leftovers for dinner! ryan wont really. he'll eat leftovers as a snack but for some reason he's weird about leftovers for dinner. but it's good b/c it means i have lunches already made a lot and i don't have to share.

    the one exception to this is if we can put a fried egg on the leftovers. like enchiladas or gallo pinto or grilled chicken with avocado and poblano peppers. he will eat leftovers with a fried egg on top.

  5. That's hilarious! And, the fried egg thing reminds me of 'put some windex on it' from my big fat greek wedding.

  6. Beth, I made your meatloaf last night. It was DELISH. I didn't have the packet of meatloaf spice, so I made it from scratch! Really easy and delicious.

    2 tsp. dried mustard
    2 tsp. paprika
    1 1/2 tsp. salt
    1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
    1 1/2 tsp. basil
    1 tsp. black pepper
    1 tsp. garlic powder
    1 tsp. onion powder

    PS. Having Ritz crackers in the house is DANGEROUS!
